The Process

How this coffee was produced

Honey with chamomile infusion added to the fermentation

01. Harvesting

Ripe cherries are hand-selected and floated to remove defects.

02. Processing

A chamomile infusion is prepared by steeping chamomile flowers in hot water and allowing them to extract for 48 hours to obtain a concentrated liquid. The coffee is then depulped, leaving the mucilage intact, and placed into a fermentation tanks where the concentrated chamomile infusion is added. The coffee ferments for 72 hours before undergoing a light wash to remove the remaining mucilage.

03. Drying Phase

The coffee is dried on sun-bed driers for 10 to 15 days until it reaches 11% moisture content.
